"Through seeing places in the little nooks and crannies all over the world made me come to the realization that wealth isn't a measure of materials; Rather it is how happy and content you are with yourself and your surroundings. If you truly are happy with who you are as person (provided that you have basic needs) who's to say that you are not wealthy?"

I really have a longing to help others; in fact my favorite quote is by Aesop-"No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted."

I want be a person who can light up someone's day and make them feel better about themselves.

Perhaps the only real teacher is the person themselves and perhaps it is only when the person themselves allows themselves to teach themselves that the person truly learns and then both teacher and student appear simultaneously?

I am at the same time both teacher and student mostly teaching myself or at least learning how to learn which may be the most important lesson of all in which case I may be my own best teacher because if I pay close enough attention to myself then I can see my own pitfalls as well as my strengths as long as I ALSO notice the times when my ego is involved and I then transcend my own ignorance and barriers to learning.
